Control See’s UCME-OPC connects directly to the SunZia wind-farm SCADA system, providing automated alarm notification and escalation to operations and maintenance personnel.
Israel/United States, August 2026 – Control See Software Solutions is pleased to announce the deployment of UCME-OPC at the SunZia Wind and Transmission project, one of the largest clean energy infrastructure projects ever developed in the United States.
Developed by Pattern Energy, SunZia combines approximately 3,650 MW of wind generation in New Mexico with a 550+ mile ±525 kV High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission line connecting New Mexico and Arizona. The project is designed to supply reliable renewable energy equivalent to the needs of approximately one million American homes annually.
At the SunZia wind farm, UCME-OPC is directly connected to the wind-farm SCADA system, providing an important communication layer between the SCADA environment and operations and maintenance personnel.
When critical alarms and operational events are detected by the SCADA system, UCME-OPC automatically distributes notifications to designated personnel through communication channels such as SMS, voice calls, email, and WhatsApp.
This enables operators and maintenance teams to receive critical SCADA alarms remotely and respond quickly, even when they are away from the control room.
Extending SCADA Alarm Management Beyond the Control Room
Modern wind farms comprise large numbers of geographically distributed assets that must be continuously monitored by sophisticated SCADA systems.
While SCADA provides operators with centralized monitoring and control, critical alarms may require immediate attention even when responsible personnel are not actively monitoring a SCADA workstation.
UCME-OPC extends the SunZia SCADA alarm environment beyond the control room.
Through its connection to the wind-farm SCADA system, UCME-OPC can automatically process alarms and initiate predefined notification and escalation workflows.
If the designated recipient does not respond, the alarm can be escalated to additional personnel according to configured procedures, helping ensure that critical events are not overlooked.
UCME-OPC provides capabilities including:
- Real-time alarm notification from the wind-farm SCADA system
- SMS, voice, email, and WhatsApp alarm delivery
- Remote alarm acknowledgement
- Configurable alarm escalation procedures
- Notification of multiple operators and maintenance personnel
- Detailed alarm and notification history
- Integration with existing SCADA and industrial automation infrastructure
Supporting Mission-Critical Renewable Energy Operations
The deployment at SunZia demonstrates UCME-OPC’s role in large-scale renewable energy infrastructure where rapid communication of operational events is essential.
“We are proud to see UCME-OPC deployed at a renewable energy project of SunZia’s scale and significance,” said Michael Meirovitz of Control See Software Solutions. “By connecting UCME-OPC directly to the wind-farm SCADA system, critical alarms can reach the right people wherever they are. This helps operations and maintenance teams respond quickly while extending the capabilities of the existing SCADA infrastructure.”
SunZia became fully operational in 2026 and includes approximately 3,650 MW of wind generation and a 550-mile HVDC transmission system delivering renewable electricity from New Mexico toward Arizona and customers across the western United States.
The SunZia deployment further demonstrates the applicability of Control See technology to renewable energy, utilities and other mission-critical industrial environments where reliable alarm delivery and escalation are essential to operations.
About UCME-OPC
UCME-OPC is an industrial alarm notification and escalation platform developed by Control See Software Solutions.
UCME-OPC integrates with SCADA, DCS and other industrial automation systems using OPC technology and automatically delivers alarms and operational events to responsible personnel through SMS, voice, email, WhatsApp and other communication channels.
The platform enables organizations to extend alarm management beyond the control room, providing remote notification, acknowledgement and escalation while complementing the organization’s existing SCADA or control system.
About SunZia Wind and Transmission
SunZia Wind and Transmission is a major renewable energy infrastructure project developed by Pattern Energy. The project combines approximately 3,650 MW of wind generation in New Mexico with more than 550 miles of ±525 kV HVDC transmission infrastructure extending from New Mexico to Arizona.
According to Pattern Energy, the project represents more than $16 billion in direct economic investment and is expected to generate approximately $20.5 billion in total economic benefits over its lifetime.
